Marine fungal community composition and diversity across a polluted site in the south Mediterranean coast: the Monastir Bay, Tunisia.

Marine fungi communities play a crucial role in the recycling of nutrients, restoration of biological systems, and the overall functioning of ecosystems. While aquatic fungal communities do react to pollution, there is a significant lack of information regarding the changes in the fungal community's structure, caused by marine pollution. In this study, we aim to address this gap in knowledge by investigating the range and makeup of fungal species present in marine environments in a polluted bay in Tunisia, spanning a biodiversity hotspot (Monastir Bay).

Longitudinal Study of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Initial Durable Clinical Benefit to Immunotherapy: Strategies for Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Continuation beyond Progression.

Background And Aim: A better understanding of resistance to checkpoint inhibitors is essential to define subsequent treatments in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. By characterizing clinical and radiological features of progression after anti-programmed death-1/programmed death ligand-1 (anti-PD-1/PD-L1), we aimed to define therapeutic strategies in patients with initial durable clinical benefit.

Patients And Methods: This monocentric, retrospective study included patients who presented progressive disease (PD) according to RECIST 1.

A review on microbial contamination cases in Tunisian coastal marine areas.

Microbial pollution in marine environments is one of the critical issues with regard to the sanitary status of recreational activities and seafood harvesting due to a potential contamination by pathogenic microorganisms. This review's objectives were to identify instances of bacterial, viral and protozoan parasite pollution in the Tunisian coastal region and to make recommendations for further research. Fecal indicators such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp.

First report of Tunisian coastal water contamination by protozoan parasites using mollusk bivalves as biological indicators.

In order to establish seawater contamination by emerging protozoan parasites, we used qPCR to molecularly characterize and evaluate the parasitic burden of Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., Toxoplasma gondii, and Cyclospora cayetanensis in 1255 wild bivalve mollusks collected along the Tunisian coasts.

[Antenatal diagnosis of multicystic renal dysplsia. Report of 11 cases].

Background: Multicystic dysplastic of the kidney (UCDK) in the most common cause of an abdominal man in the new born period and is the most common cystic malformation of the kidney in infancy. The increasingly widespread use of prenatal diagnostic techniques has revealed that UCDK is apparently even more prevalent than had been assumed.

The Aim: of this study was to assess the utility of antenatal ultra ecography for in utero diagnosid of UCDK and its management.
